Avalanche score much-needed win on home ice over Devils
The Colorado Avalanche snap a recent skid with a 5-2 win over the New Jersey Devils on Oct. 29, 2026, snapping a two‑game home stand with a surge of nearly 50 shots. Key contributions come from Sam Malinski, Jaden Schwartz, Brent Burns and Nazem Kadri (each with two points), while Nathan MacKinnon’s late‑third‑period goal seals the victory. Burns moves into the top‑10 all‑time defensemen in points, and Gabriel Landeskog sets a franchise record for hits, passing Cody McLeod. Goalie Mackenzie Blackwood steadies New Jersey, but injuries hit the Avs as Josh Manson exits early. The Avs now host the Calgary Flames on Halloween.

Which MLB teams have never won the World Series? Ringless franchises in baseball
Five active MLB teams still lack a World Series ring: the San Diego Padres, Milwaukee Brewers, Seattle Mariners, Colorado Rockies and Tampa Bay Rays. The Mariners are the only franchise never to win an American League pennant or reach the Fall Classic since 1977. The Padres (1984, 1998), Brewers (1982), Rockies (2007) and Rays (2008, 2020) have all appeared in the Series but fell short, with the Rays pushing the Dodgers to six games in the pandemic‑shortened 2020 season. The Padres and Brewers share the longest active droughts at 57 seasons, while the Rangers ended a 63‑year drought by winning in 2023.
Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic makes personal history with triple-double vs. Pelicans
Nikola Jokic records his 200th career triple‑double as the Denver Nuggets beat the New Orleans Pelicans 104‑91 on Oct. 29, 2026.

Jamal Murray adds 23 points, including five threes, and Aaron Gordon contributes a 15‑point, 11‑rebound double‑double. Denver jumps to 2‑2 on the season after rebounding from a loss to Golden State, while the Pelicans fall to 0‑4 despite Zion Williamson’s 25 points.

Recap: Denver Nuggets win wire-to-wire 104-91 over the New Orleans Pelicans
The Denver Nuggets cruise to a 104-91 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, posting a 37‑point first‑quarter burst. Nikola Jokic records his 200th career triple‑double (21‑13‑10) while Jamal Murray leads with 23 points and key defensive plays. Christian Braun adds 15 points with late threes, Aaron Gordon posts a double‑double, and rookie Trevon Brazile shines in his first start (11 points, 8 rebounds). Zion Williamson tops the Pelicans with 25, but New Orleans manages only four double‑figure scorers and a paltry 48 paint points. Denver’s early lead proves insurmountable.
Super Two Status Set At 2.133 Years Of Service
MLB sets the 2026 Super Two cutoff at 2.133 years of service, allowing the top 22% of players with 2‑3 years of service to enter arbitration a year early. The threshold shifts each season; recent cutoffs ranged from 2.115 to 2.146. This year, Boston reliever Tyron Guerrero and Colorado outfielder Jordan Beck each finish with exactly 2.133 years, projecting salaries of $1.1 million and $1.2 million respectively, pending contracts. Their eligibility could net them several hundred thousand dollars above the league minimum, a boon for Guerrero, a 35‑year‑old journeyman who returned to the majors with the Red Sox in May.
Northwest Notes: Edwards, Holiday, DeRozan, Brazile
Anthony Edwards faces at least two months out after a “cleanup” knee surgery, confirmed by Timberwolves president Tim Connelly, ending a hot LaMelo Ball/Edwards start; Edwards had 45 points in the season opener despite lingering pain. Meanwhile, veteran Jrue Holiday embraces a bench role with the Trail Blazers, praising clear coaching expectations as Portland’s depth fuels its early success. Former Chicago star DeMar DeRozan, now a reserve for the Nuggets, posted 21 points in his first bench outing and is adapting to the new role. Rookie forward Trevon Brazile is emerging as a versatile Nuggets reserve, even starting at small forward amid Cameron Johnson’s absence.

Broncos’ Jaylen Waddle, Zach Allen both sit out practice before crucial Chiefs game
The Denver Broncos face a crucial AFC West showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, but key players missed Wednesday's practice. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (chest), defensive lineman Zach Allen (hamstring) and safety Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) were listed as DNP, while left tackle Garett Bolles and WR Marvin Mims are limited. Waddle, the team's high‑profile offseason acquisition, has only 26 catches for 276 yards and one TD in seven games. Allen and Hufanga anchor a top‑ranked defense, and their potential absence could shy the Broncos from toppling the Mahomes‑led Chiefs and regaining the division lead.

Pelicans rumors: New Orleans has ‘not indicated a willingness’ to trade Herb Jones
The New Orleans Pelicans start 2026‑27 at 0‑3 and face the Denver Nuggets on Oct. 28, but trade rumors about defensive wing Herb Jones appear unfounded. NBA insider Marc Stein reports the team has “not indicated a willingness” to move Jones, despite his limited minutes and a history of injuries. While he remains a top perimeter defender with three‑point range, his trade value is low. Similar speculation surrounds Trey Murphy III, yet the Pelicans have shown no concrete interest in any deals, underscoring the urgency for a roster shake‑up after a rough opening stretch.

How Nicolas Roy’s return brings an edge to the Avalanche
Nicolas Roy returns to the Colorado Avalanche after a six‑game lower‑body injury layoff, bringing a boost to a team that went 2‑3‑1 without him. The 6‑foot‑4 forward, praised by coach Jared Bednar for his puck‑handling and compared to former star Valeri Nichushkin, will rejoin the second line with Brock Nelson and Gabriel Landeskog, reshuffling Nazem Kadri and Fedor Svechkov. Roy, who has four points in six games, says he feels “good” on the ice and aims to improve the Avs’ defensive consistency as they chase better results.
